Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man (Brave New World, 2000)

Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you, He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do, Your tongue has frozen now you’ve got something to say, The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way, You watch the world exploding every single night, Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light, Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death, Hello to eternity and live for every breath Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come The ferryman wants his money you ain’t going to give it back, He can push his own boat as you set up off the track, Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same, Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame, You watch the world exploding every single night, Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light, Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain, The shadow of the wicker man is rising up again Your time will come, your time will come (x6)

Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark (Fear of the Dark, 1992) (Live At Rock In Rio)

I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you run your fingers down the wall And have you felt your neck skin crawl When you're searching for the light? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look At the corner of the room You've sensed that something's watching you Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around and no one's there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you're sure there's someone there Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklores The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense, and suddenly eyes fix On dancing shadows from behind Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone.

Iron Maiden - Ghost Of The Navigator (Brave New World, 2000)

I have sailed to many lands now I make my final journey On the bow I stand, west is where I go Through the night I plough still my heart, calculate and pray As the compass swings my will is strong I will not be led astray Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, I know I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free Carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain I will not fail now as the sunrise comes the darkness left behind For eternity I follow on there is no other way Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, I know I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free Carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel Ooooooooh...

Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Powerslave, 1984)

Hear the rime of the ancient mariner See his eye as he stops one of three Mesmerises one of the wedding guests Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea. And the music plays on, as the bride passes by Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale. Driven south to the land of the snow and ice To a place where nobody's been Through the snow fog flies on the albatross Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings. And the ship sails on, back to the North Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on, yeah yeah. The mariner kills the bird of good omen His shipmates cry against what he's done But when the fog clears, they justify him And make themselves a part of the crime. Sailing on and on and north across the sea Sailing on and on and north 'til all is calm. The albatross begins with it' s vengeance A terrible curse a thirst has begun His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner About his neck, the dead bird is hung. And the curse goes on and on at sea And the curse goes on and on for them and me. "Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink." There calls the mariner There comes a ship over the line But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide? See... onward she comes Onward she nears out of the sun See, she has no crew She has no life, wait but here's two. Death and she life in death, They throw their dice for the crew She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now. Then, crew one by one They drop down dead, two hundred men She, she, Life in Death. She lets him live, her chosen one. "One after one by the star dogged moon, Too quick for groan or sigh Each turned his face with a ghastly pang And cursed me with his eye Four times fifty living men (And I heard nor sigh nor groan) With heavy thump, a lifeless lump, They dropped down one by one." The curse it lives on in their eyes The mariner wished he'd die Along with the sea creatures But they lived on so did he. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom With heart he blesses them God's creatures all of them too. Then the spell starts to break The albatross falls from his neck Sinks down like lead into the sea Then down in falls comes the rain. Hear the groans of the long dead seamen See them stir and they start to rise Bodies lifted by good spirits None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes. And revenge is still sought, penance starts again Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on. Now the curse is finally lifted And the mariner sights his home spirits go from the long dead bodies Form their own light and the mariner's left alone. And then a boat came sailing towards him It was a joy he could not believe The pilot's boat, his son and the hermit, Penance of life will fall onto him. And the ship sinks like lead into the sea And the hermit shrieves the mariner of his sins. The mariner' s bound to tell of his story To tell this tale wherever he goes To teach God' s word by his own example That we must love all things that God made. And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man And the tale goes on and on and on.

Iron maiden - Brave new world (from Brave new world, 2000)

Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here, Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear, I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone, Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home, Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all, Close this mind dull this brain, messiah before his fall, What you see is not real, those who know will not tell, All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now, Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh, Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth, You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home...

Iron Maiden - Afraid to Shoot Strangers (from Fear of the Dark, 1992)

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow But it's not the fear 'Cos I'd rather go now Trying to visualize the horrors that will lay ahead The desert sand mound a burial ground When it comes to the time Are we partners in crime? When it comes to the time We'll be ready to die God let us go now and finish what's to be done Thy kingdom come Thy shall be done... on earth Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go Should we live and let live, forget or forgive But how can we let them go on this way? The reign of terror corruption must end And we know deep down there's no other way No trust, no reasoning, no more to say Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid, Afraid to shoot strangers... Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers

Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives

Sometimes I get to feeling I was back in the old days - long ago When we were kids, when we were young Things seemed so perfect - you know? The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young The sun was always shinin - we just lived for fun Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don't know The rest of my life's been - just a show Those were the days of our lives The bad things in life were so few Those days are all gone now but one thing is true When I look and I find I still love you You can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide - ain't that a shame? I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride When life was just a game No use and sitting and thinking on what you did When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids Sometimes it seems like lately I just don't know Better sit back and go - with the flow Cause these are the days of our lives They've flown in the swiftness of time These days are all gone now but some things remain When I look and I find - no change Those were the days of our lives yeah The bad things in life were so few Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true When I look and I find- I still love you, I still love you

Andreas Scholl, countertenor - Deutsche Barocklieder (German Baroque Songs)

And one of the briliant pieces included - "Die Kunst des Küssens" (by Andreas Hammerschmidt)

Nirgends hin als auf den Mund, da sinkt's in des Herzens Grund; nicht zu frei, nicht zu gezwungen, nicht mit gar zu faulen Zungen; nicht zu wenig, nicht zuviel: beides wird sonst Kinderspiel; nicht zu laut und nicht zu leise, beider Maß ist rechte Weise. Nicht zu nahe, nicht zu weit, dies macht Kummer, jenes Leid. Nicht zu langsam, nicht zu schnelle, nicht ohn' Unterschied der Stelle. Nicht zu harte, nicht zu weich, bald zugleich, bald nicht zugleich. Nicht zu trocken, nicht zu feuchte, wie Adonis Venus reichte. Halb gebissen, halb gehaucht, halb die Lippen eingetaucht. Nicht ohn' Unterschied der Zeiten, mehr alleine denn bei Leuten. Kusse nun ein jeder Mann, wie er weiß, will, soll und kann. Ich nur und der Liebste wissen, wie wir uns recht sollen kussen

Marillion - Jigsaw (from album "Fugazi", 1984)

We are jigsaw pieces aligned on the perimeter edge Interlocked through a missing piece We are renaissance children becalmed beneath the Bridge of Sighs Forever throwing firebrands at the stonework We are Siamese children related by the heart Bleeding from the surgery of initial confrontation Holding the word scalpels on trembling lips Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet Drowning tequila sunsets, stowaways on midnight ships Refugees of romance plead asylum from the real Scrambling distress signals on random frequencies Forever repatriated on guilt laden morning planes We are pilots of passion sweating the flight on course To another summit conference, another breakfast time divorce Screaming out a cease fire, snow-blind in an avalanche zone Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces on the ricochet Are we trigger happy? Russian roulette in the waiting room Empty chambers embracing the end Puzzled visions haunt the ripples of a trevi moon Dream coins for the fountain or to cover your eyes We reached ignition point from the sparks of pleasantries We sensed the smoke advancing from horizons You must have known that I was concealing an escape Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbye Stand straight, we've drifted past the point of reasons why Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today, starts today And the problem always seems to be we're picking up the pieces On the ricochet, this is the ricochet.

Marillion - Fugazi (1984, from the album "Fugazi")

Vodka intimate, an affair with isolation in a Blackheath cell Extinguishing the fires in a private hell Provoking the heartache to renew the licence Of a bleeding heart poet in a fragile capsule Propping up the crust of the glitter conscience Wrapped in the christening shawl of a hangover Baptised in the tears from the real Drowning in the liquid seize on the Piccadilly line, rat race Scuttling through the damp electric labyrinth Caress Ophelia's hand with breathstroke ambition An albatross in the marrytime tradition Sheathed within the Walkman wear the halo of distortion Aural contraceptive aborting pregnant conversation She turned the harpoon and it pierced my heart She hung herself around my neck From the Time-Life-Guardians in their conscience bubbles Safe and dry in my sea of troubles Nine to five with suitable ties Cast adrift as their side-show, peepshow, stereo hero Becalm bestill, bewitch, drowning in the real The thief of Baghdad hides in Islington now Praying deportation for his sacred cow A legacy of romance from a twilight world The dowry of a relative mystery girl A Vietnamese flower, a Dockland union A mistress of release from a magazine's thighs Magdalenes contracts more than favours The feeding hands of western promise hold her by the throat A son of a swastika of '45 parading a peroxide standard Graffiti conjure disciples testaments of hatred Aerosol wands whisper where the searchlights trim the barbed wire hedges This is Brixton chess A knight for Embankment folds his newspaper castle A creature of habit, begs the boatman's coin He'll fade with old soldiers in the grease stained roll call And linger with the heartburn of Good Friday's last supper Son watches father scan obituary columns in search of absent school friends While his generation digests high fibre ignorance Cowering behind curtains and the taped up painted windows Decriminalised genocide, provided door to door Belsens Pandora's box of holocausts gracefully cruising satellite infested heavens Waiting, the season of the button, the penultimate migration Radioactive perfumes, for the fashionably, for the terminally insane, insane Do you realise? Do you realise? Do you realise, this world is totally fugazi Where are the prophets, where are the visionaries, where are the poets To breach the dawn of the sentimental mercenary

AC/DC - Touch Too Much (from Highway to Hell)

It was one of those nights When you turned out the lights And everything comes into view She was taking her time I was losing my mind There was nothing that she wouldn't do It wasn't the first It wasn't the last She knew we was making love I was so satisfied Deep down inside Like a hand in a velvet glove CHORUS Seems like a touch, a touch too much Seems like a touch, a touch too much Too much for my body, too much for my brain This damn woman's gonna drive me insane She's got a touch, a touch too much She had the face of an angel Smiling with sin, A body of Venus with arms Dealing with danger Stroking my skin Like a thunder and lightning storm It wasn't the first It wasn't the last It wasn't that she didn't care She wanted it hard And wanted it fast She liked it done medium rare CHORUS Seems like a touch, a touch too much Seems like a touch, a touch too much Too much for my body, too much for my brain This damn woman's gonna drive me insane. She's got a touch, a touch too much Touch me! Seems like a touch (touch too much) You know it's much too much (much too much) I really want to feel your (touch too much) Girl, you know you're giving me (much too much) Oh, seems like a touch Just a dirty little touch I really need your touch Cause you're much too much too much too much Seems like a touch, a touch too much Seems like a touch, a touch too much Givin me a touch, a touch too much Baby got a touch, a touch too much Seems like a touch, a touch too much A touch too much A touch too much A touch too much Touch! Come on and touch me! Yeah!

Dead Can Dance - The Carnival Is Over (from 'Into The Labyrinth')

Outside the storm clouds gathering Moved silently along the dusty boulevard Where flowers turning crane their fragile necks So they can in turn reach up and kiss the sky They are driven by a strange desire Unseen by the human eye Someone is calling I remember when you held my hand In the park we would play When the circus came to town Look over here Outside the circus gathering Moved silently along the rainswept boulevard The procession moved on, the shouting is over The fabulous freaks are leaving town They are driven by a strange desire Unseen by the human eye Someone is calling The carnival is over We sat and watched As the moon rose For the very first time

Dead Can Dance - Tell Me About The Forest (You Once Called Home) (from Into the Labyrinth)

Farewell now my sister Up ahead there lies your road And your conscience walks beside you It's the best friend you will ever know And the past is now your future It bears witness to your soul Make sure that the love you offer up Does not fall on barren soil For the wind cries of late In the whispering grass Our way of life is held In the spinning wheels of chance I believe in a way of long ago And the sounds I believe rose our glow And we're changing our ways Yes, we are taking on different roads Tell me more about the forest That you once called home For the wind cries of late In the whispering leaves And the sun will turn to waste The heavens we build above Father teach your children To treat our mother well If we give her back her diamonds She will offer up her pearl. We must sing her creation song Jeune du monde Invoke the spirits that feed us This dreaming takes too long But I'm not bitter no I'm surviving To face the world, to raise the future So why don't you tell me, come on and tell me About the world you left behind Can you tell me?
